Oakdale Academy hosting dinner fundraiser with Rick Santorum

Former Republican Senator and Presidential Candidate, Rick Santorum, will speak at the Troy Marriott Hotel, 200 W. Big Beaver Road in Troy on Friday, Feb. 22 for Oakdale Academy as part of the school's "Liberty Campaign Dinner" fundraising event.

Oakdale Academy is a newer Classical Christian school located at 3200 Beacham Drive in Waterford Township.

Senator Santorum, Author of "American Patriots," was a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 2012 and became known as a voice for conservatives who didn't feel their voice was being represented. Santorum and his wife of 22 years, Karen, are the parents of seven children.

During his run for president, he spoke passionately about his belief that strong families help produce a strong economy. He also shared his views that we must expand opportunities for all Americans by encouraging incentives for marriage, children, and free enterprise.

"The Mission of Oakdale Academy is to instill Character, Truth, and Wisdom in our students in such a way that when they leave us at graduation, they are truly prepared for a life of service to God, country, community, and family," says Rachel Greb, Headmistress at Oakdale. "We chose Mr. Santorum because he stands for the same conservative values that represent our school."

"This Liberty Campaign Dinner will help to ensure that Oakdale Academy students will continue to have the opportunity to receive quality instruction in a traditional, content-rich curriculum within a Christian setting that emphasizes our American heritage as well as the wisdom of the ancient thinkers. We follow the Hillsdale Academy model and curriculum guidelines, and Dr. Calvert and possibly one other faculty member from Hillsdale will be in attendance."

Individual tickets for this open-to-the-public event are $125 per person or $500 for a table of ten and must be reserved no later than Feb. 14. There is a special VIP reception to meet Santorum at 6 p.m. for those that donate at certain sponsorship levels.
